I’m a 5th semester Computer Programming and Analysis student looking for a co-op/internship in backend, full-stack, or cloud. I’ve applied to about 346 jobs and only had 2 interviews, both unsuccessful.
Hi everyone, I know this might not be the usual type of question here, but I’m hoping to get some advice from people who might have gone through something similar. I originally came from Uzbekistan and started school in Canada in Grade 11. At that time, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, and I also had some financial challenges, so I focused more on part-time work than school. In high school, I okay and was able to graduate with low 80s, I did take two programming classes and I actually enjoyed them, which is part of why I became interested in Computer Science later on. I then went to Seneca Polytechnic and completed a 3 year Computer Programming and Analysis diploma and graduated a 4.0 GPA, and I was also involved in some school activities.
Now I am applying to transfer into Computer Science at TMU. They are looking at both my high school and college grades, but I am missing one of the science prerequisites from high school. They told me that if I don’t meet all the requirements, I may not be accepted and would have to complete the missing course through virtual school, and I only have until the end of July to finish it.
I’m just looking for any advice or options from people who might understand this situation, especially if anyone has had to quickly complete a missing prerequisite like this or dealt with something similar. Any help would really mean a lot.
